There is a lot to say about Social Media but without Facebook I would have never been able to run a project such as Humans of Amsterdam. I probably would not been able to raise over 10.000 euro’s for refugees in 2015 and I don’t think I would have published a book with National Geographic by the age of 27. For the opening of Facebook’s new office in Amsterdam they created a photo exhibition to highlight a few of those who contribute daily to the Facebook community. I’m honored to be a part of it but mostly excited to keep working hard and to continue this journey

“I’m getting so sick of hearing Right-wing politicians talk about that we should leave the European Union and close our borders. They spread fear and they make people believe as if these options are realistic which they aren’t. The reality is that we are in this together and together we have to make it work.”

“I want to become an archaeologist because I like digging up bones, which is a little scary but also super exciting at the same time!”
